Its two years cos I have a degree already and want to venture into a career line, the school offered me two years. I mean do I need to have all the money for the two years at once? I have about 4m for dis trip with my fees and subsequently money would be sent to me. Is dat ok?

Thank u

Hi justwise,I have few questions please.
Two of my mates are planning to come to the U.K. They are brothers and applying to the same university in london. They can proof 7500£ separately in their accounts but will only have paid a deposit to the University not the full amount.
My questions are :Is there any risk involved in them going to the same university ( submitting almost the same documents etc ) .Secondly, even though they have £300 more than the required maintenance fee they have not paid the full school fees, how will this affect their chances and is £300 over the required amount any good or do they have to have more considering it is a 3 yr degree course.
Thank you

suxes2005, they will be paying a deposit definitely there is no way around that. They cannot get a visa letter without it. The question was if after the deposit paid to the university, do they need to reflect the balance in their accounts + the £7200 for maintenance.

Hi justwise, thanks for your reply

They do not have the full payment in the accounts just £7500 each, they intend to live together to cut bills and the likes but they obviously can't say that. Are you suggesting they need the balance of the tuition fees plus the £7200? What if they can get the balance all paid up and have just exactly £7200 left is that any good?
Thanks for your help .

If they can do that then no prob, but they will struggle to see a landlord who will allow 2 adults to share one room.

Siena:

Difficult, yes. But still possible. It's just a case of ringing round, and finding a sympathetic landlord / lady.

My college is asking us new students to provide the bank account statement we used for our visa application, of which the bank statement was not given back to me by the British high commision, they're really stressing it, and saying things like if we don't provide it within 2 weeks, we might be sent back to our different country, isn't that weird?? they didn't inform us before we leave Nigeria, and now they're making fool of themselves, they said it's the new requirment of the UKBA and we should contact our bank to print another for us if we didn't come with it, and I've transffered the money to my mum's account because she owns largest percentage of it. Is it just a threat or what?

hi just wise. I was in UK last year on 6 months visiting visa for 3 weeks. Now i want to renew my visa, can i apply for a 2 yrs visiting visa and what are my chances of getting it since i have visited there once already. also, i went as a tourist i.e i used hotel reservation. this time, my younger brother is in uk on student visa. should i go as a family visitor or i can still go through my normal hotel tourist as i found it a lot easier then.

Thank you, as i expect a response

Hello everyone, please can I get a sample of a letter from an employer promising employment to a student after he/she is done with studies abroad. More like something to show proof of ties / reason to return to home country, if you know what I mean. You can send the sample to my email address (tony_runo@yahoo.com). I need it asap. Thanks a lot.

The time is now for you to start applying for visas - US Visa appointment you can't be too early. Don't know much about UK. Depending on which appointment you secure first, then that's the order you follow. The more evidence of your ties to Nigeria the better, if you are travelling with your family I'll suggest you make hotel reservation,( you don't have to pay now and the thinking is, if you are taking your family with you the expectation that another person will host you will bring suspicion and more questions). I want to believe you have a fat bank account and would suggest avoid introducing a third party in to the mix, this brings the focus on you and you don't have to answer questions about your relation in UK or US. Start ASAP. Good luck.
